MADURAI/tiruchi: The Central Bureau of Investigation on Tuesday filed charge sheet in five cases involving fake insurance claims in Madurai and Tiruchi courts. The cases involve a Tiruchi-based advocate and his accomplices, who allegedly conspired to fabricate cases of road accidents to claim compensation from insurance companies. According to the prosecution, advocate K. Subramanian alias Subbu, persuaded his friend Pakkirisamy, a technician in the Goldenrock Workshop, Tiruchi, to purchase an old moped in a fictitious name and get insurance cover. While not effecting name transfer in the registration certificate of the moped, insurance was also obtained in the name of the original owner. Modus operandi
Their modus operandi was to identify persons injured in accidents and convince them to fraudulently admit that the moped of Pakkirisamy had caused the mishap leading to the injury. Accordingly, five cases of road accidents were registered in Lalgudi, Ramji Nagar, Tiruchi Cantonment Traffic Wing, Jeeyapuram and Thiruverumbur police stations during 2001. The suspects also arranged drivers with a valid driving licence, who would admit that they rode the moped. After the accident cases were disposed of, the ‘victims’ would file a petition before the respective courts seeking compensation for the injuries. When the CBI was asked to investigate these cases by the Madras High Court in 2006, petitioners in all the five cases withdrew their claims. Thiruverumbur case
In the Thiruverumbur case, Jayamary of Tiruchi sustained injuries after she was hit by an unidentified vehicle while trying to cross the road. She was admitted to the local Government Hospital. At the instance of Subramanian, she filed a false complaint implicating Pakkirisamy as the driver of the moped that knocked her down. CBI investigator C.S. Mani said the Sub-Inspector of the Thiruverumbur police station, Shanmugam, colluded with the suspects and filed a charge sheet with fake inputs. SI among accused
The SI has been included as an accused in the case. The charges against eight accused in all the five cases included criminal conspiracy, attempt to cheat and submission of fake documents as genuine. The investigation was done under the direct supervision of the Superintendent of Police (Anti Corruption Branch), G. Venkataraman, CBI sources added.
